i was wondering what you guys use as a braking marker at the top of the hill
in Spa in GTL. I used to use tat little "tower" on the left side of the
track, but a) it`s hard to see and
b) while it works quite well when i drive the BMW, i way overshoot the
corner when driving the 911 RSR. So what do you guys use?
Cheers!

I won't name drop, but I got wander the pits at this year's Rolex 24hr
race and asked a driver which brake markers he uses. I listed off about 3
corners and he was suprised those turns had brake markers, after a couple
of days of practice and qualifying, he had never noticed the signs. . He
used different items for each corner. Good luck with whatever suggestions
you get.

Probably not a good point of reference in terms of realism, but I often use
the "groove" in combination with the actual markers or other landmarks. It
typically depends on how far past the first marker I can brake. At that
particular corner at Spa, I -think- I mostly rely on the brake markers
themselves.

"In braking you need to develop reference points to cue your
application of the brakes."
No way are you going to be as fast doing it by "feel". Pros don't.

A circuit is different to a rally stage though, it's a lot less
precise and more about feel. Don't expect to get consistent times
or even optimal times on a circuit if you don't use braking points.
If it's a rainy day, you extend the braking point further from the
corner.
